Subj : lseeki64

I need to use the lseeki64 function for large data files but it's not in the
Borland C 5.5 libraries.

I tried the obvious (to me anyway!) of
   implib -c mylib \windows\system32\msvcrt.dll
and declaring
   __int64 lseeki64( int handle, __int64 offset, int origin );
in my program. It builds ok but the function just returns -1 and errno = 0,
apparently not actually being executed.

Has anyone got this function to work from Borland C? If so, how?
